PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
■ The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
■ If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in
the pivot joints, have saw repaired at your nearest RYOBI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the blade's downward travel. It
allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) from the miter table support.
NOTE: The miter table support is located inside miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10 in. (254 mm) saw blade provided with
your saw. Therefore, the saw blade provided should never
need adjustments.
However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced
due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust the depth
stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. Also, when a new
blade is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of
the blade to the miter table support.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 21.
■ Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ To adjust the depth stop use a 17 mm wrench or adjustable
wrench and loosen the hex nut at the rear of the miter saw
arm.
■ Use the 5 mm hex key provided to adjust the depth stop
adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning
the screw counterclockwise and raised by turning the
screw clockwise.
■ Lower the blade into the blade slot of the miter table.
Check blade clearance and maximum cutting distance
(distance from fence where blade enters) to front of miter
table slot.
■ Readjust if necessary.
WARNING:
Do not start your miter saw without checking for
interference between the blade and any part of the miter
table. Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the
miter table during operation of the saw.
■ Tighten the hex nut with a 17 mm wrench or adjustable
wrench.
■ To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from turning
while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold it with the hex
key while tightening the hex nut.
APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
■ Cross cutting wood and plastic.
